I hosted a fun ‘Resuscitation Olympics’ event on rounds today while discussing rapid resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock! It was a race to see which gauge of IV and what type of central access would win the gold!🥇

@OSUPCCM_Fellows@OSUWexMed Thank you! I’m truly honored to have been considered for this award, let alone to be the one to receive it. There are so many amazing residents and fellows at @OSUWexMed!

The end of a decade of training.
The day I become an attending.
The first day of the rest of my life.
Terrifying. Exciting. Humbling.
